Bioclues.org, a regional affiliate of International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB.org) celebrates 12 years in service. The society has organized her debut onsite Inbix'17 conference in Jaipur during November 2017 which was a huge success. Keeping in purview of the annual conference series, this year's conference would indeed be a symposium in association with InCob'18. We, the Indian Conference on Bioinformatics 2018 (Inbix'18) organizers hope this opportunity will not only foster interactions and collaborations among practitioners but will also allow young researchers interact with the world leaders, who are among the top researchers in the bioinformatics and computational biology. While we spur on this annual event, the organizers welcome all bioinformaticists across the world to take part in this august conference which would be held at JNU, Delhi.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Please download the template for your submission from here. For reviews, you may skip material and methods, results and discussions. The following paper categories are welcome:

The extended abstract must contain the following sub-heads: Rationale/Motivation, Objectives, Materials and Methods, Results anAfter Aprild Discussion, Conclusions. Select abstracts will be invited for full length paper submission.

Panel discussions: We are inviting a few proposals for panel discussions that could last for 45 minutes. Please come up with a proposal along with the abstract and list of potential speakers.

Ideation/coding challenge: "Improving the prediction accuracy of 3D domain swapping from sequence information using machine learning." Please find the link to the problem. You're welcome to submit the solution through easychair

Tutorial/workshop: Proposals are invited from researchers across sub-domains of bioinformatics. The taught programme should detail the target audience, duration (maximum 3 hours) and the prerequisites.
